The ever-increasing fuel prices got me thinking...how much does a gallon of jet-a have to cost before corporations begin rethinking/cancelling certain trips?
One of the corporations that we fly for has instituted a "3 pax" policy. If there aren't three people on board, the plane doesn't fly (we haven't cancelled many flights due to this though).
Across the board we are limiting our speed to Mach .80 in the -10's and -900's and only .76 in the -20's. We are noticing decent fuel savings at the cost of only a few minutes.
